facebook and Libraries - College of Western Idaho Library

The facebook page for the College of Western Idaho library (CWI Library) contains posts about the library, suggestions for useful e-books, some posts on seemingly random things that people might find interesting and messages from the library.
Some of the library related posts are reminders of what services the library offers, an advertisement for student staff and a reminder that the library website is an invaluable first stop when looking for study resources.
The feed features a number of recommendations for e-books which may be of interest or use to specific student groups. Each post identifies the book, shows the front cover and the student group which it is aimed at. Also very usefully there is a link to the e-book which CWI staff and students can access.
Some of the seemingly random post subjects include a Roman goblet which changes colour when used with different drinks and a cafe opening in Paris France where people can go to drink tea or coffee while interacting with the resident cats as a way to de-stress
